The spirit of faith, community and compassion was on full display at the “Splash of Pink” charity afternoon tea, hosted on Sunday, October 12, by the GO Family & Friends Ladies Fellowship of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia in partnership with the Philoptochos of Saints Raphael, Nicholas and Irene Parish in Liverpool.
Held in support of the McGrath Foundation, the event raised $20,000 to fund free cancer care and awareness programs across Australia.
The afternoon began with a Trisagion service led by Fr Asterios Zouriakas in memory of women who have lost their lives to cancer. More than 230 attendees then gathered in the parish hall for an uplifting afternoon of food, games, raffles and heartfelt stories.
Guests were greeted by pink and white décor, pins and bookmarks honouring Saint Agatha, the patron saint of breast cancer, and were inspired by talks from McGrath Foundation representatives, cancer researchers and a survivor who shared her moving journey.
Organisers described the event as a celebration of hope, unity and faith, emphasising the importance of honouring those lost, supporting women still fighting cancer, and raising awareness through collective action.
All proceeds from the event will go directly to the McGrath Foundation, helping to ensure that no woman faces cancer alone.
